Luggage storage near Santiago Cathedral

The cathedral lists free entry to the basilica and the tomb of St James through the Platerías door. Backpacks have to stay outside. Sightseeing pauses during services, so check the cathedral’s visiting times before you head over from the luggage office.

You collect your bag from the same Correos office on Rúa do Franco. From 31 October 2026 to 15 March 2027, the listed closing time is 8:30 pm on weekdays and 6 pm on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays. The office closes altogether on 25 December and 1 and 6 January. If you have a Saturday evening train, set your collection time before deciding how long to spend in the cathedral.

You can arrange storage at the counter or book online. If you book ahead, save the reservation code from your email to show when you drop off the bag.

Take your ID and anything you need for the visit out of the pack before you hand it over. The clerk gives you a deposit slip, called a justificante de depósito. Correos asks for that slip and ID when you return. The online booking code is for drop-off, so keep the slip even if you still have the confirmation email.

If you also booked the free individual visit to the Pórtico de la Gloria, look at the entrance on your ticket. That visit starts at the crypt on the Obradoiro side. Allow time to leave your bag and walk back for the arrival time printed on the ticket.
